Abstract

1. Animal drinking bowl, having a water basin (16 ; 116) with integrally formed thereon and provided with fixing apertures (44, 46 ; 144, 146), a raising rear wall (20 ; 120) for mounting and fixing the bowl, and with, disposed above the basin, an extension piece (22 ; 122) comprising two superposed arms in each of which there is one of two substantially vertically aligned bores (24, 26 ; 124, 126) to receive at least a part (28) of a water supply pipe (38, 28, 12, 14) to the bowl, the supply pipe incorporating a stop valve (12), the basin having a substantially constant thickness of material also in the region of at least one of the two bores, characterized in that the extension piece (22 ; 122) is V-shaped or U-shaped (Figs. 1 or 2) in vertical section and at two places of the extension piece, which have the same thickness of material, accommodates a tubular portion (28) of the water supply pipe (38, 28, 12, 14) by means of its bores (24, 26 ; 124, 126), and in that the basin (16 ; 116) and the rear wall (20 ; 120) including the fixing apertures (44, 46 ; 144, 146) and also the extension piece (22 ; 122) with a cavity between its two arms are so formed that the bowl, together with the rear wall and the extension piece, can be removed in a straight direction from a shape-imparting split of a mould.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Tränkebecken für Tiere, gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a drinking bowl for animals, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Das aus der DE-B-1 030 613 vorbekannt gewesene Viehselbsttränkebecken dieser Art löst zwar im Gegensatz zu dem aus der GB-A-677 943 vorbekannt gewesenen Tränkebecken für Tiere die Aufgabe einer erleichterten Formgebung des Beckens mit Rückwand und Ansatz unter Materialeinsparung; Es hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß sein mittels eines klappenartigen Ventilbetätigungshebels (5) steuerbares Auslaufventil (4) eine Abdichtung gegen den zu seiner Aufnahme vorgesehenen Durchbruch im Boden der Schale (8) benötigt und durch diese Dichtung infolge deren Alterung Wasser aus der Schale herauslaufen kann, das dann nicht nur in der Schale fehlt, sondern auch noch den Stallboden näßt.In contrast to the drinking bowl for animals known from GB-A-677 943, the cattle self-drinking bowl of this type, which was previously known from DE-B-1 030 613, solves the task of facilitating the shaping of the bowl with rear wall and approach while saving material; However, it has the disadvantage that its outlet valve (4), which is controllable by means of a flap-like valve actuating lever (5), requires a seal against the opening provided in the base of the shell (8) for receiving it, and water can run out of the shell through this seal as a result of its aging , which is not only missing in the bowl, but also wets the floor of the barn.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Tränkebecken für Tiere zu schaffen, weiches bei erleichterter Formgebung des Beckens mit Rückwand und Ansatz unter Materialeinsparung im Bereich seiner Wasserschale Durchbrüche zum Lagern eines Auslaufventiles nicht aufweist, um den genannten Nachteil zu vermeiden.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a drinking bowl for animals which, in the case of a simplified shape of the bowl with a rear wall and attachment, with material savings in the area of its water bowl, does not have openings for storing an outlet valve in order to avoid the disadvantage mentioned.

Diese Aufgabe ist bei einem Tränkebecken der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 genannten Art erfindungsgemäß durch dessen kennzeichnende Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention in a drinking bowl of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 by its characterizing features.

Dadurch wird nicht nur die Nebenbedingung einer erleichterten Formgebung des Beckens mit Rückwand und Ansatz unter Materialeinsprarung erfüllt, sondern vorteilhafterweise auch erreicht, daß das als Auslaufventil auszubildende Sperrventil keinen Lagerdurchbruch der Beckenschale erfordert und die beiden Lagerdurchbrüche an den zwei auszubohrenden Ansatzstellen für den das Sperrventil aufhängenden Leitungsabschnitt nicht die Wandung der Wasserschale durchbrechen, die mithin vollkommen wasserdicht ist und bleibt.This not only fulfills the constraint of facilitating the shape of the basin with the rear wall and attachment while saving material, but advantageously also achieves that the shut-off valve to be designed as an outlet valve does not require a bearing breakthrough of the basin shell and the two bearing breakthroughs at the two attachment points to be drilled out for the line section which hangs the shut-off valve do not break through the wall of the water bowl, which is and remains completely watertight.

Der Prospekt "La Buvette-Ferkeltränke BALKO" offenbart ein ähnliches Tränkebecken für Tiere, bei welchem aber zur Beckenbefestigung seitlich an der Beckenrückwand angebrachte, mit Befestigungsdurchbrüchen versehene Laschen vorhanden sind, die in derselben Richtung wie die übrigen Beckenteile von dem formgebenden Teil entformbar sind, was für die Befestigungsdurchbrüche selbst fraglich ist; und bei welchem außerdem der obere, waagrechte Ansatzschenkel eine nicht konstante Materialstärke aufweist, die der Materialstärke des unteren, schrägen Ansatzschenkels folglich nicht gleich ist. Es kommt bei dem Tränkebecken "BALKO" hinzu, daß der am einzigen Lagerdurchbruch des Ansatzes in dessen oberen Schenkel aufgenommene Abschnitt der Wasserzuleitung einschließlich Sperrventil und nach unten anschlie- Bendem Ventilbetätigungsrohr im Beckendurchbruch nicht mittels einer Klemmschraube radial arretiert, sondern mittels einer Verschraubung axial gesichert ist. Infolgedessen ist das Auswechseln eines defekten Ventiles erst nach Abnahme des Tränkebeckens von der es tragenden Wand möglich, da die Angriffsflächen für Werkzeuge unterhalb des oberen Ansatzschenkels in dem Ansatzhohlraum eingeschlossen und oberhalb dieses waagrechten Ansatzschenkels zu nahe an der Stahlwand gelegen sind. Im Vergleich damit sichert beim erfindungsgemäßen Tränkebecken der durchbohrte Ansatz wegen des Abstandes seiner beiden fluchtenden Durchbrüche voneinander eine stabile Lage des aufgenommenen Leitungsabschnittes, der vorzugsweise ein Einzelteil ist, beispielsweise aber auch das Ende einer längeren stationären Wasserzuleitung sein kann, wobei jedenfalls das Ventil unter dem Ansatz des Beckens von dessen Vorderseite her wie die Klemmschraube ohne weiteres erreichbar ist. Bei bevorzugten Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Tränkebeckens weist der Grund der Schale an der Rückwand eine Erhebung auf, die auf an sich aus der DE-B-1 152 283 bekannte Weise eine Rinne für stehendes Lockwasser abteilt, welche so gestaltet ist, daß das Becken geradlinig entformbar ist.The brochure "La Buvette-Piglet Drinker BALKO" discloses a similar drinking bowl for animals, in which, however, there are tabs attached to the side of the rear wall of the pool with fastening openings, which can be demolded from the shaping part in the same direction as the other parts of the pool is questionable for the fastening breakthroughs themselves; and in which, moreover, the upper, horizontal shoulder leg has a non-constant material thickness which is consequently not the same as the material thickness of the lower, oblique shoulder leg. It is added to the "BALKO" drinking bowl that the section of the water supply line including the shut-off valve and the valve actuation tube in the pool opening, which is accommodated in the upper leg of the neck in the upper leg, is not radially locked by a clamping screw, but is axially secured by means of a screw connection . As a result, the replacement of a defective valve is only possible after the drinking bowl has been removed from the wall that supports it, since the contact surfaces for tools are enclosed below the upper extension leg in the extension cavity and are located too close to the steel wall above this horizontal extension leg. In comparison, in the drinking bowl according to the invention, the pierced approach ensures a stable position of the line section received, which is preferably an individual part, but can also be the end of a longer stationary water supply line, in any case, the valve under the approach, because of the distance between its two aligned openings of the pelvis from the front as the clamping screw is easily accessible. In preferred embodiments of the drinking trough according to the invention, the base of the bowl on the rear wall has an elevation which, in a manner known per se from DE-B-1 152 283, divides a channel for standing attracting water, which is designed in such a way that the basin can be demolded in a straight line is.

Bei den bevorzugten Ausführungsformen ist die Lagerstelle für die Klemmschraube gewindelos und zwischen den Ansatzschenkeln eine am Ansatz befestigte Mutter als Gewindeträger vorgesehen, sodaß das teure Schneiden eines Innengewindes entfällt. Alternativ könnte die Lagerstelle aber auch mit einem Innengewinde versehen werden.In the preferred embodiments, the bearing point for the clamping screw is threadless and a nut attached to the shoulder is provided as a thread carrier between the shoulder legs, so that the expensive cutting of an internal thread is eliminated. Alternatively, the bearing point could also be provided with an internal thread.

Bei den bevorzugten Ausführungsformen ist der von den Lagerdurchbrüchen aufgenommene Leitungsabschnitt wie erwähnt ein Einzelteil, das mit einer stationären Wasserzuleitung oberhalb des Ansatzes verschraubbar ist. Infolgedessen braucht das Tränkebecken einschließlich festgeklemmtem Leitungsabschnitt nur noch mittels desselben mit der Wasserzuleitung verbunden zu werden. Außerdem entfällt eine besondere Lagerung des Ventils an der Rückwand.In the preferred embodiments, the line section accommodated by the bearing openings is, as mentioned, an individual part which can be screwed to a stationary water supply line above the attachment. As a result, the drinking bowl, including the clamped line section, only needs to be connected to the water supply line by means of the same. In addition, there is no special mounting of the valve on the rear wall.

Durch mindestens einen hohlen Nocken, der zur Lagerung des Ventils oder eines Betätigungsorgans desselben an der Rückwand ins Beckeninnere vorspringend ausgebildet ist, kann ohne Erschwernis der Beckenformgebung erreicht werden, daß die benötigten Lager- oder Anschlagstellen zur Verfügung stehen. Beispielsweise kann ein Paar dieser Nocken eine Überwurfmutter als vertikalen Anschlag unterstützen, mittels deren eine passend ausgebildete Ventilvorrichtung an den einzelnen Leitungsabschnitt geschraubt ist, sodaß die Höhenlage des Ventils durch den Anschlag der Überwurfmutter an den beiden Nocken genau bestimmt werden kann. Anschließend braucht nur noch die Klemmschraube gegen den einzelnen Leitungsabschnitt festgezogen zu werden, um diese Höhenlage über der Schale zu fixieren.By at least one hollow cam, which is designed to project the valve or an actuating member of the same on the rear wall into the interior of the pool, it can be achieved that the required bearing or stop points are available without complicating the shape of the pool. For example, a pair of these cams can support a union nut as a vertical stop, by means of which a suitably designed valve device is screwed to the individual line section, so that the height of the valve can be exactly determined by the stop of the union nut on the two cams. Then only the clamping screw needs to be tightened against the individual line section in order to fix this height above the shell.

Im folgenden ist die Erfindung anhand von zwei durch die Zeichnung beispielhaft dargestellten, bevorzugten Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemässen Tränkebeckens im einzelnen erläutert. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 einen zentralen, vertikalen Längsschnitt durch eine erste Ausführungsform;
  • Fig. 2 eine Fig. 1 entsprechende Darstellung einer zweiten Ausführungsform; und
  • Fig. 3 einen Schnitt nach der Linie 111 - 111 in Fig. 2 durch die zweite Ausführungsform.
The invention is explained in detail below with reference to two preferred embodiments of the drinking bowl according to the invention, which are shown by way of example in the drawing. It shows:
  • 1 shows a central, vertical longitudinal section through a first embodiment;
  • FIG. 2 shows a representation corresponding to FIG. 1 of a second embodiment; and
  • Fig. 3 shows a section along the line 111-111 in Fig. 2 through the second embodiment.

Die erste Ausführungsform ist ein Tränkebekken 10, das mit einer im Becken hinten angeordneten Ventilvorrichtung 12 und einer dieser Vorrichtung zugeordneten Betätigungsvorrichtung 14 versehen ist.The first embodiment is a drinking bowl 10 which is provided with a valve device 12 arranged in the rear of the pool and an actuating device 14 assigned to this device.

Das Tränkebecken 10 weist eine sich über seine ganze Breite und den grössten Teil seiner Tiefe erstreckende, ausgerundete Wasserschale 16, eine hinter dieser Schale liegende, ständig unerreichbares Lockwasser enthaltende Rinne 18, eine diese hinten begrenzende, ebene, vertikale Rückwand 20 und einen im Ausführungsbeispiel V-förmigen Ansatz 22 am oberen Rand dieser Wand auf. Der über die Rinne 18 bis über die Wasserschale 16 vorspringende Ansatz 22 ist mit zwei mittig gelegenen, vertikal fluchtenden Bohrungen 24 und 26 versehen, die einen rohrförmigen Stutzen 28 mit leichtem radialem Spiel aufnehmen, dessen unteres, mit einem Aussengewinde versehenes Ende 30 vertikal über der Mitte einer Erhebung 32 des Beckenbodens hängt, welche die Rinne 18 von der Wasserschale 16 abteilt. Der Stutzen 28 ist mittels einer am Ansatz 22 schraubbar festgelegten Schraube 34 am Ansatz 22 festgeklemmt. Das mit einem Aussengewinde versehene obere Ende 36 des vertikalen Stutzens 28 ist mittels einer Schraubmuffe 38 lösbar mit einer vertikalen Wasserzuleitung verbunden zu denken.The drinking bowl 10 has a rounded water bowl 16 which extends over its entire width and most of its depth, a channel 18 which is behind this bowl and contains permanently unreachable lure water, a flat, vertical rear wall 20 which delimits it at the rear, and one in the exemplary embodiment V -shaped approach 22 at the top of this wall. The projecting over the groove 18 to over the water bowl 16 is provided with two centrally located, vertically aligned bores 24 and 26 which receive a tubular connecting piece 28 with a slight radial play, the lower end of which is provided with an external thread 30 vertically above the Hangs in the middle of an elevation 32 of the pool bottom, which divides the channel 18 from the water bowl 16. The connector 28 is clamped to the attachment 22 by means of a screw 34 which is screwably attached to the attachment 22. The upper end 36 of the vertical connection piece 28, which is provided with an external thread, is to be considered detachably connected to a vertical water supply line by means of a screw sleeve 38.

Der waagrechte Schaft der Klemmschraube 34 ist frei drehbar in einer waagrechten Bohrung 40 des Ansatzes 22 gelagert sowie in eine in den Ansatz 22 gelegte Vierkantscheibe 42 mit Innengewinde geschraubt. Statt der Scheibe 42 könnte die Bohrung 40 mit einem Innengewinde versehen sein.The horizontal shaft of the clamping screw 34 is freely rotatably mounted in a horizontal bore 40 of the extension 22 and screwed into a square washer 42 with an internal thread placed in the extension 22. Instead of the washer 42, the bore 40 could be provided with an internal thread.

Die Rückwand 20 weist zwei Paar Durchbrüche 44 bzw. 46 auf, die in verschiedenen Höhen über der Rinne 18 angeordnet sind. Durch die Durchbrüche 44 und 46 können die Schäfte von Schrauben gesteckt werden, die zur Befestigung des Beckens, beispielsweise an einer Mauer, dienen. Ausserdem ist die Rückwand 20 mit zwei in gleicher Höhe über der Rinne 18 symmetrisch zur Schnittebene der Fig. 1 parallel angeordneten, hohlen Nocken 48 versehen, die oben waagrecht gegen die Wasserschale 16 vorspringen.The rear wall 20 has two pairs of openings 44 and 46, respectively, which are arranged at different heights above the channel 18. Through the openings 44 and 46, the shafts of screws can be inserted, which are used to fasten the basin, for example on a wall. In addition, the rear wall 20 is provided with two hollow cams 48 which are arranged at the same height above the trough 18 and are arranged parallel to the cutting plane of FIG. 1 and project horizontally against the water bowl 16.

Die Ventilvorrichtung 12 mit anhängender Betätigungsvorrichtung 14 ist mittels einer Überwurfmutter 50 an das untere Stutzenende 30 angeschraubt. Die Überwurfmutter 50 wird auf beiden Seiten der Ventilvorrichtung 12 von den beiden Nocken 48 unterstützt, so dass die Klemmschraube 34 sowie die beiden Bohrungen 24 und 26 das Gewicht der mit dem Becken 10 verbundenen Teile nicht zu haften brauchen. Die beiden Nocken 48 und die Überwurfmutter 50 bestimmen die Höhenlage der Betätigungsvorrichtung 14 über der Erhebung 32 des Beckenbodens.The valve device 12 with the attached actuating device 14 is screwed onto the lower nozzle end 30 by means of a union nut 50. The union nut 50 is supported on both sides of the valve device 12 by the two cams 48, so that the clamping screw 34 and the two bores 24 and 26 do not have to adhere to the weight of the parts connected to the basin 10. The two cams 48 and the union nut 50 determine the height of the actuating device 14 above the elevation 32 of the pelvic floor.

Das gesamte Tränkebecken 10 ist einstückig aus homogenem Material auf beliebige, geeignete Weise hergestellt. Die Materialstärke ist überall die gleiche, insbesondere weist der Ansatz 22 keine Materialverstärkung auf. Die Wasserschale 16, die Rinne 18, die Durchbrüche 44 und 46 der Rückwand 20, die Nocken 48 an derselben und der Ansatz 22 (ohne die Bohrungen 24, 26 und 40) sind so geformt, dass das Ganze in einer bestimmten, durch den Pfeil 52 angezeigten Richtung entformt, d. h. ohne weiteres einem formgebenden Werkzeug, z. B. einer Giessform, entnommen werden kann. Fig. 1 zeigt dies deutlich und macht auch verständlich, dass die Bohrung 40 schräg statt waagrecht ausgeführt und daher mit ausgeformt anstatt ausgebohrt werden könnte, weil der Schaft der Klemmschraube 34 dank der Mutter 42 ledigich einen Durchbruch im Ansatz 22 für seinen Durchtritt benötigt.The entire drinking bowl 10 is made in one piece from homogeneous material in any suitable manner. The material thickness is the same everywhere, in particular the attachment 22 has no material reinforcement. The water bowl 16, the channel 18, the openings 44 and 46 of the rear wall 20, the cams 48 on the same and the neck 22 (without the holes 24, 26 and 40) are shaped so that the whole in a specific, by the arrow 52 demoulded direction dem. H. easily a shaping tool, e.g. B. a mold can be removed. Fig. 1 shows this clearly and also makes it understandable that the bore 40 can be made obliquely instead of horizontally and therefore could be formed instead of drilled out, because the shaft of the clamping screw 34, thanks to the nut 42, only requires a breakthrough in the neck 22 for its passage.

Die Durchbrüche 44 und 46 sind an ihrer Oberseite kreiszylindrisch gerundet, so dass die Rückwand 20 sicher auf den runden Schäften der Befestigungsschrauben ruht.The openings 44 and 46 are rounded in a circular cylindrical manner on their upper side, so that the rear wall 20 rests securely on the round shafts of the fastening screws.

Die zweite Ausführungsform, deren Teile, soweit sie den Teilen der ersten Ausführungsform gleichen oder entsprechen, mit um 100 höheren Bezugszahlen bezeichnet sind, sei nur hinsichtlich ihrer Abweichungen von der ersten Ausführungsform beschrieben.The second embodiment, the parts of which, insofar as they are identical or correspond to the parts of the first embodiment, are designated by reference numerals higher by 100, will only be described with regard to their deviations from the first embodiment.

Der mittlere, vertikale Längsschnitt des Ansatzes 122 ist im wesentlichen U-förmig, wobei seine beiden Schenkel parallel zur Richtung des Pfeiles 152 liegen. Der obere Schenkel des Ansatzes 22 der ersten Ausführungsform ist also parallel zum unteren Schenkel gelegt worden, und zwar deshalb, weil er eine ungefähr geradlinige Verlängerung 154 erhalten hat, die über die Wasserschale 116 vorspringt. An die Rückwand 120 schliessen unter Bildung eines Innenwinkels von je 135° zwei einen rechten Winkel einschliessende Seitenwände 156 an, die sich von der Wasserschale 116 bis zur Verlängerung 154 erstrecken und den Ansatz 122 je seitlich schliessen, so dass ein Hohlraum 158 entsteht, der über der Rückwand 120 ins Freie mündet. Die beiden Seitenwände 156 gestatten die Befestigung des Tränkebeckens 110 mittels je eines dritten Durchbruches 144 bzw. 146 in einer Raumecke, in der zwei vertikale Mauern rechtwinklig aufeinanderstossen.The middle, vertical longitudinal section of the extension 122 is essentially U-shaped, with its two legs lying parallel to the direction of the arrow 152. The upper leg of the extension 22 of the first embodiment has therefore been placed parallel to the lower leg, because it has received an approximately rectilinear extension 154 which projects over the water bowl 116. To the rear wall 120, forming an inner angle of 135 °, two side walls 156 enclose a right angle, which extend from the water bowl 116 to the extension 154 and each close the extension 122, so that a cavity 158 is formed which over the rear wall 120 opens into the open. The two side walls 156 allow the drinking bowl 110 to be fastened by means of a third opening 144 or 146 in a corner of the room in which two vertical walls meet at right angles.

Die Nocken 48 der ersten Ausführungsform fehlen beispielsweise bei der zweiten.The cams 48 of the first embodiment are absent from the second, for example.
